Kitchener ready for decider

Graham KitchenerShropshire student Graham Kitchener is set to make his first start for England under-20s in their Grand Slam decider against Ireland tomorrow night.

Adams Grammar School student Kitchener, 18, who is on the books of Worcester Warriors, replaces suspended Saracens lock Ben Thomas.

He appeared at under-18 level last season, but has seen this campaign disrupted by a knee injury which has restricted his appearances.

But the lock, whose family hails from Baschurch, is now hoping to make his mark at under-20 level for the game at Gloucester’s Kingsholm.

England, coached by Nigel Redman and Mark Mapletoft, are playing for their Six Nations Grand Slam after victories against Wales (28-15), Italy (22-13), France (24-6) and Scotland (41-15).

The game will be shown live on Sky Sports 3 tomorrow night from 7.30pm.
